Ahhh not sure if it's ok to post this here ^^; but was trying to find muds with lycanthropy or werewolves… Don't really like godwars or world of darkness or as a race selection though, any chance anyone might have a mud or know of a mud that has them? Well was just wondering….

Well, you ruled out the two main categories of MUDs (by codebase and by theme) that I could guarantee would have Werewolves. Could you provide any additional detail as to exactly what you're looking for? Perhaps then, I could attempt to make suggestions.

Well was kind of in a middle ground of sorts… I'm more of a fan of the whole curse theme instead of it being a race you picked up at the start ^^; I don't really like PvP a whole lot either, was hoping something more for fun but RP is always fun to have if it isn't too much…

I seem to recall End of Time (Final Fantasy/Misc. Square-Enix themed MUD) having Lycanthropy as a curse your character could pick up. It took a while to get it, though, and finding the Werewolf to curse you took a bit of searching. It's PK optional and RP-lite. I'd recommend Werewolves in my own game, but they're loosely derived from World of Darkness, which you ruled out.

Have seen a lot of muds where they have them as races and they just do bonuses and negatives like a regular race, hardly see any where they are scripted in as something you get while playing and have the full moon transformations and everything else…

You could try looking for any Ack derived games. Stock Ack has Werewolves and Vampires both in the code as "extras" – not a race. They're usually held fairly secretive and hunted by regular players when discovered. There aren't many Ack games about, and some have just removed the "supers" as they're called entirely, but there may still be one or two out there.

If MW was anywhere near being ready to open, I'd tell you to try our system out, Lycanthropy and Vampirism will be diseases transmitted by certain creatures and if you wait out the incubation period for said disease, you're then turned into a Vampire/Werewolf. Werewolves are forced to change on a full moon, but otherwise have the ability to change at will. Or.. rather, they will assuming I ever get moon phases coded in…

If it is a MUD to play on that you are looking for, you can try Erandia MUD. Even though we do not have were-wolves in the MUD, we do have a system of lycanthropy that you will most likely find rather interesting.

My old mud nanvaent has lycanthropy, and it turns you into a were wolf (EDIT: i think this is true, although my memory fails me - you might just go berserk). Its also catching.

Basically you can get it from one of the werewolves in a village full of them (although they look like normal people in the day time). If they bite you, you get lycanthrope, which turns you berserk at night time and although you can control where you go, you cannot control who you fight.

There is a potion cure I think.

Interestingly you can also be a wolf race in Nanvaent (not a werewolf tho) but its quite a convoluted round trip to join the guild. Oh, and it involves sheep. Very annoying sheep.

Yeah was just muds to play on ^^; I don't really know much about coding at all besides changing a few little things around x.x; and no idea how to even run one anyway.

Well it's kind of lycanthropes or lycanthropy in general if it was something ingame, haven't really seen very many so was interested in seeing what there was… Didn't have much luck with searches anywhere and know some muds don't include it in their descriptions so was hoping I could try asking around to find some ^^;

Mmmmm was going to wait a few days to see if any other muds came up and then maybe I might try on another connector if nothing else came up…. Tried looking at the muds I could that were mentioned on here so far…

Well you've already been given three suggestion - Nanvaent, Erandia and Ack. Did you try those? If you didn't like them, what exactly was it you didn't like? If you can break your requirements down into priority order, perhaps we can come up with at least some partial matches.

My mud (in my sig) has a werewolf class (with werebear and werefox subclasses), but it's also an unrestricted PK mud, shares certain thematic elements with GodWars (for obvious reasons) and has a steep learning curve. I get the impression you're looking for an easier and less competitive gaming environment?

Yeah don't really like the really competitive games ^^; I tried looking at Dark Risings a while back and tried asking around about the mud with tells and was told tells were treated IC even…. So don't really like the high rp muds x_x; I tried looking at some of the Ack stuff and it looked kind of gross and gory… I think Nanvaent was another class thing though, but was going to try looking at Erandia more…. I really liked what the End of Time mud had though too ^^;

Well I used to play a couple of muds that used to have them PrimalMUD and WoTL mostly… Was hoping to find another mud with a similar system maybe somewhere…
